Conventional Dedicated Server / VPS

Adding More CPU Need to migrate to a new physical server that supports more processors. Cost more money for new server processors and hardware and the old processor is wasted.

Adding More RAM Need to shut down the server and plug in new RAM stick. Most of the time, there is no more slots for RAM available in the server. Few minutes up to hours of downtime.

Adding Disk Space If more disk space is needed, must add in new hard drives (most of the time no more space in the server for adding new hard drives). Or need to migrate to drives with bigger capacity which will incurr few hours or days of downtime.

High Availability If your server hardware fails, it takes hours to days for replacement or migration to new hardware.

Server Redundancy Standalone Server.

Disk Storage Type Standalone, Single Hard Drive.

Setup Time Takes few days to order and provision.

Choices of OS. Needs to insert CD/DVD installer in front of your physical servers. Or takes hours to download the installer ISO. The installation takes up to few hours.

Auto Scaling No auto scaling.

Cloud Hosting

Adding More CPU Adding more CPU is just a matter of few clicks and a reboot. Add up to 8 CPU cores per virtual machine.

Adding More RAM Adding more RAM is just a matter of few clicks and a reboot. Add up to 64GB RAM per virtual machine.

Adding Disk Space Adding more disk space is just a matter of few clicks and a reboot. Can be done within minutes. You may also create rules to automatically add more disk space when your disk space is running low.

High Availability If your server hardware fails, it will automatic move your site to other servers within the cloud. Your site automatically recovers in minutes.

Server Redundancy Consists of multiple physical servers within the Cloud.

Choices of OS. Choose from multiple Operating System distributions including Windows and Linux from templates libraries. Install / Reinstall your virtual machine with new Operating System within 10 minutes.

Auto Scaling Can scale up automatically by adding more CPU and RAM when your server need more powerful resources and scale down when the traffic is reduced.

5 Reasons Why Exabytes Cloud Hosting

High Availability, Self-Healing Hardware

Unlike traditional hosting, our whole infrastructure is cloud-based with high redundancy and high availability. So what happens if the hardware fails?

Every virtual machine within the cloud is automatic self-healing.

The failed hardware will fall out of the cloud.

Your virtual machine will be back online within seconds on new hardware – automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the definition of “Outsourcing” for Windows Server?

To make the change for Windows Server licensing in SPLA(Microsoft’s Software Provider Licensing Agreement), Microsoft has defined “outsourcing” as follows:
Outsourcing is an application or service which a Service Provider manages on behalf of its customer. For purposes of this definition, the managed application or service is:

Used by its customer’s employees, contractors, agents, or vendors, and

Not the Service Provider’s intellectual property

The following are some important factors to consider when you apply this definition to scenarios:

The outsourcing definition is based on the application or service provided to a customer and not how a Service Provider is categorized as an entity.

Apply this definition to each individual server that is involved in delivering the application or service. This can result in scenarios where a Service Provider may have a mix of outsourcing and non-outsourcing servers from which they provide their managed service.

The application or service must meet all portions of the definition to fit the definition.

Can I install and use my own Microsoft license?

No, end-customer-owned licenses (such as Small Business Server, SQL Server, Exchange Server, or other server applications acquired through Microsoft Select or Enterprise Agreements) are not allowed in Public Cloud Server environment. Customers are required to report and subscribe to the additional Microsoft Product Licenses from Exabytes.

Is my data secured?

Your data is physically hosted in a secured data center environment that is manned 24×7 with multiple access checking and CCTV. This is also the same data center that some of the large enterprises, public listed companies, banks, governments servers are hosted at.
Your data is hosted on a secured server cluster that consists of multiple redundant servers.
Your data is hosted on a properly configured, tested and patched cloud cluster. The operating system and virtualization system and the same system used by thousands of enterprise worldwide. The cloud control panel system that we are using is the same system that is used by some of the largest hosting company in Europe and Japan.
Your data is stored on a RAID10 SAN, and if you have backups enabled for your system these will be stored away from the primary data store.
Exabytes Cloud implements “Customer Isolation Module” (CIM) in addition to the hypervisor’s own security features. This anti-spoof/anti-sniff firewall ensures all virtual machines within the same cloud are in complete isolation including isolating the virtual machines’ data and traffic.

What type of virtualization technology is Exabytes using for cloud hosting?

Exabytes Cloud is using Xen Hypervisor.
The Xen® hypervisor, the powerful open source industry standard for virtualization, offers a powerful, efficient, and secure feature set for virtualization of x86, x86_64, IA64, ARM, and other CPU architectures. It supports a wide range of guest operating systems including Windows®, Linux®, Solaris®, and various versions of the BSD operating systems. What is Xen? – Why Xen?
Xen powers most public cloud services and many hosting services, such as Amazon Web Services, Rackspace Hosting and Linode. Commercial virtualization products such as Oracle VM and XenServer are built on top of Xen, as well as desktop virtualization solutions such as Qubes OS and XenClient. From Linux 3.0 onwards, all the codes necessary to run Linux as the Xen management OS and as a Xen guest, is part of the Linux kernel.
More information about Xen: http://xen.org/

I am currently hosted on Exabytes VPS (Not Cloud VPS) / Dedicated Server, can I upgrade to Exabytes Cloud Server?

You can’t directly “upgrade” from your conventional VPS or dedicated server to Exabytes Cloud. You will need to sign up for the new Exabytes Cloud hosting and migrate your data to the Cloud server. Although it involves a one-time work of migration, but that will also gives you a lot more of flexibility, better redundancy and more control over your servers / virtual machines on the new Exabytes Cloud hosting.

It’s very easy to upgrade a Flexi Cloud Server. Just buy some additional nodes, and then assign them to the machine. The system will shut down your machine, upgrade it, and bring it back up automatically.

How long will an upgrade of Exabytes Flexi Cloud Nodes or Flexi Cloud Server take?

This depends entirely on how much data is stored on your system. Upgrades are usually completed within a minute, but downgrades can take up to an hour.

How do you allocate resources?

Each Exabytes Cloud Server is made up of one or more units called nodes. A node is allocated a guaranteed share of CPU and RAM resources as well as SAN storage space and monthly bandwidth. The more nodes you assign to a Virtual Machine, the more physical resources will be dedicated to your system. Unlike many other providers we do not oversell or share any resources between machines.

How much technical knowledge do I need?

It is very easy to get Exabytes Flexi Cloud up and running with pre-installed software as it requires very little experience to get started. However, remember that this is not a managed service by default (please read below for Managed Service options), so you will be responsible for maintaining your server. We therefore recommend that you take the time to gain a basic understanding of Linux / Windows Server administration.
